Vancouver

Welcome to VANDUG!

The Vancouver Drupal Users Group is the local meeting place for Greater Vancouver people interested in Drupal. We were formerly known as the Vancouver League of Drupalers, but that's a long story. We generally meet once a month (typically the 4th Thursday) on a variety of topics, both technical and non-technical. There is no cost to join the group or attend our monthly meetings.

We have a sister group in the Lower Mainland, the Surrey Drupal Users Group that meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month. Many people are members of both groups.

Friday, January 27th and Saturday Jan 28th is the Drupal Sprint Weekend, with local sprints being held around the world! Vancouver is no exception, The Jibe will be holding an all-day sprint at their offices on Friday Jan 27th @ 5pm-9pm'ish and Saturday Jan 28th @ 9am-5:30pm'ish. The address is:

The Summit

The 2-day conference will feature sessions covering a range of Drupal topics from site building, development and code, design and theming, to business and project management. Most sessions will be intermediate or advanced with some suitable for beginners too! Aside from planned presentations, we'll also have space for breakout sessions, and of course there will be lots of time to catch up with your Pacific Northwest Drupal friends. Register today for only $55!

The 2018 Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit will take place February 3-4, 2018 at the University Place Hotel in Portland, Oregon. The 2-day Summit will aim to help Drupal developers and site builders "level-up" their Drupal 8 knowledge and ability to:

Build awesome Drupal 8 sites

Contribute to Drupal 8 core and contributed module or theme development

Hey GVA Drupallers -
I've just finished an awesome headless Drupal project with Amazee Labs for one of the biggest publishing companies in Europe, and I want to show you how it works. I think we won "high tech buzzword Bingo" with this project: Drupal 8, GraphQL, KeyCDN, Auth0, React/Relay/Apollo... and that's just the start. If you're interested in any of these technologies, or headless Drupal 8 in general, let's meet up!

We’ve made this change as we realized the original July date was not the ideal timing for the event. Out of consideration, respect, and in support for other Drupal events in the general region, we have chosen to pick an alternative date.

We know it’s always a challenge with the community growing so fast and with events such as these Summits, Camps, and Cons, popping up all over the world, we can’t appease everyone and there may be some closely timed events. But, we are going to try our best!
